New changes in the calendar of the national rally ground


The Spain and Spanish Rallyes of land of 2011 has not had the best way to start. After a change of last minute which allowed the TT to participate along with Rallye cars to increase the list of participants who had been recently affected by the lack of interest for the Championship, now up to the calendar be changed.
Environmental restrictions forced the Organization to postpone the test they had planned for June 11, which is why the Baja Spain-Aragon, to be held from 23 to July 24, becomes the next round of the Championship, the second of the year. There is also news on the Catalan test, will it be separated into two parts separated by 20 days.
Let us hope that the five remaining evidence not bring us new surprises as the Championship is not going through your best time and a new problem could leave mortally wounded a national where participated as promising as Txus Jaio peopleCarlos Sainz or Yerai Lemes.
Test 1: 30 April - 1 mayo-Palma of the River
Test 2: 23-24 July-Aragon
Paper 3: 2-3 September-Catalonia only land
Test 4: 23-24 September-Catalonia only TT
Test 5: 14-15 October-Andalusia
Test 6: 11-12 November - La Rioja

Formula one study changes in the schedule to make room the Grand Prize of Bahrain


It seems that the FIA and Bernie Ecclestone want to do all that is necessary to hold the Grand Prize of Bahrain of 2011. After the political problems in the country, the Grand Prize was suspended but was given a deadline to decide if it was eventually cancelled, or if on the contrary, it could relocate at end of season. The first deadline to make the final decision was met on May 1. Even so, the FIA decided to modify date and allow them more time. The new deadline is June 3. What seems clear is that to civil or criminal
Now, Autosport reports, to make room for the Grand Prize of Bahrain, the FIA could modify the calendar. These changes would be passed on that great prize of the India left his gap to Bahrain, October 30, while the appointment at the Jaypee Group Circuit became the final race of the Championship, in the weekend of December 4 and a week after the Grand Prize of Brazil.
With these changes, Bernie Ecclestone and the FIA would kill two birds with one stone. They are hollow to Bahrain and the organizers of the Grand Prize of the India give them a month to complete the works and not to risk a new problem as the one which occurred last year with the circuit in Yeongam.

Changes in the circuit of Yas Marina will include a peraltada curve


The organisers of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix plan to make wider the entrance to the main fork of the circuit, but the most important on the Yas Marina circuit change is perhaps the inclusion of a peraltada curve, which we can see already in the Grand Prize of this year.
In fact, this is not a new curve, but by what he says, alter the cant of an already existing curve. This lets us see that it won't be a curve peraltada Indianapolis-style, but it is probably something similar to what exists today in day at the Shanghai circuit.
These changes are supposed to facilitate overtaking, although to be honest, and having seen the current circuits, the problem is probably in the car. In any case, from Autosport, they give us three points which appear to be those who will be changed.
These points are the curved 5 and 6, leading to the entrance of the fork (curve 7). These points will be expanded so that there is more than one drawn and facilitate overtaking. The curve 9, which is a bit contraperaltada, will be changed to make it otherwise, and thus also give more drawn.
It is assumed that it may be the curve by abroad, trying to pass through the area. Finally, two curves to the left of the final sector, which are quite slow, will be changed to make them faster, and keep the "rhythm" of the circuit. It's the curved 13 and 14.
The pilots have welcomed these changes, since that implies that they are willing to change the circuit if necessary from Abu Dhabi. But we must also say that there have the money to do so, which, in other places, is not the case.

GP Australia F1 2011: Nothing changes in formula one after the first free of the Grand Prize of Australia practice

Four months have passed and we can already say that little has changed in the formula one scene. We finished the season with Red Bull dominance last and it has begun with more of the same. Two Red Bull the lead after the first free of the Grand Prize of Australia practice. Mark Webber has been the fastest with three-tenths of advantage over teammate Sebastian Vettel. Behind, it must be down almost a second to find the time of Fernando Alonso. If this is the reality, we will have a season Stevens between Vettel and Webber. Luckily, we only have an hour and a half of coaches.
The anecdotal fact of the meeting it has starred in Karun Chandhok. The Indian was premiered at the wheel of a Team Lotus as the third pilot, and after the first round, lost control of the single-seat running against the barriers and severely damaging the TS11. "Nice" start for Chandhok. The Indian has at least begun, his former team, Hispania Racing F1 Team has not been able to shoot while Liuzzi has acknowledged to the BBC that they expect to do so in the second session.
Another fact to highlight has been the degradation of the Pirelli tyres. See the wear of the composite hard on short runs in boxes is worrying. Except for the McLaren has more, who shot the rest of pilots remained on track between 15 and 20 laps, still, gums presented serious wear to say nothing of the planes, most common in habit
Finally, brand TV premiered at the broadcasting of formula one, with Javier Rubio to the baton and Andy Soucek on backing vocals. A good start of a solvent pair of commentators. High note which they deserve. Let us hope that Rubio give us a little of their wisdom in each session, would end up learning a lot season.
